Abstract: A holder for selectively manipulating small format flat objects and large format flat objects comprises a support assembly adapted to pivot between two stable positions. This assembly is formed by first and second members attached perpendicularly to respective opposite sides of a third member. The first and third members form an L-shaped support for large format objects in one of the two stable positions. The second and third members form a T-shaped assembly. A base has an inclined end portion on which the support assembly is pivotally mounted at a point between the second member and the point at which the first member and the second member are attached together. As a result, the support assembly pivots about an axis which is substantially coincident with the intersection of the second and third members. A first of the two stable positions is defined by an abutting relationship between the inclined end portion of the base and the second member.
